[2.3 beta] Ctrl+clicking doesn't allow me to select multiple items

[kanduvisla]

When I try to select Ctrl+click to select multiple items, it doesn't work. It always ends up only selecting the last item I clicked.

I tried the pages screen, the section editor, the publish index page, the datasource editor, etc... none seem to work. Shift+click does work however, selecting a range, but this is not the behavior expected from Ctrl+click.

I tested in Chrome/Win7.

@allen actually noticed this the other day. He had a report from a Symphony developer in Taiwan running Windows. From memory the root of the issue is that the selectable plugin looks for a particular key mapping that doesn't exist in Windows (event.metaKey). There is a related jQuery bug that may be helpful to whoever tackles this.

Does shift+click work for you? For some reasons both, shift and cmd, work on OS X.

I can confirm that ctrl+click does not allow me to select independent multiple rows, while shift+click correctly selects a range.

I think the solution is to add a check for event.ctrlKey as well.

event.ctrlKey
event.metaKey
